The problem is, you *make* the I-League more powerful. I want the I-League to stand up to me, and be able to challenge my galaxy-domination agenda through its own power. The way I saw it, minor powers are races with no troop transports and no colonizers. Fine with me, but if they ally, they should share shipbuildings, technologies, etc...

I readed 3 things on the forum that are considered AI flaws: - The AI have piles of money and not using them - The AI build lots of Freighters and Constructors needlessly - The AI doesn't his starbases ennough 1 + 1 + 1 = 4. We got a simple equation that (I think) could easily be included in the AI. (from a pure amateur eye, I must confess)
They should have the reflex to ally together, like a TRUE powerful I-League, able to challenge 1 superpower. (Maybe not SUPERPOWER, but at least middle-rated power) It would give a new spin to diplomacy with the minor races. Or off course, they could ally with you. I remember, Birth of the Federation. When you allied or conquered minor races, you could get cool advantages... It would certainly redefine the landscape..
I would love to see some flavor in a TBS 4X game. Something else than "everyone starts on the same foot and tries to get along". I want a race who's already colonized a good part of territory, and have insanely powerful magic and combat skills, but they stopped expanding, not treathening anyone around them (except if you WANT to have problem with them). They would be a major power for a time (until an alliance of rag-tag races finally beat them). (I nominate the elves). I w
In the foreign panel, you can select how much you spend in espionnage on each race.. Personally, I simply spend a little cash, but never stop spending it. Eventually, techs starts cashing in in the late-game, for on-the-side techs not critical, but always fun (except if I didn't wanted the tech, like Stock market!)
GalCiv2 Forums
I just wanted to know: do you simply want to add a Star Trek flavor through races and ships alone, or REALLY modify GalCiv2 to have missions picturing wars between klingon/federation/romulans? To include a lot of minor races?
I just wondered in my loose time.. what would be the statistics of a Borg Cube, in GalCiv2 terms? the ships would be uber-huge (about two size category higher than Huge), I think, and have at least 500 weapon points.. ouch.. how many hit points? what speed? defences/offences..?
they still will have lost their main worlds, and the survivors will only be a shadow of their previous empire...
I just noticed it. It wasn't like that.. maybe a bug from the conversion forum-to-forum?

Do you think it's doable, M. Frogboy?

Military Doctrines A empire-wide leader hasn't the capacity to take charge of every single battle fought under his command. There are usually just too many things to run, too many battles to be fought for a single man. Many people thinks the Leader should only be able to run strategic and logistic movements. However, there is a way a leader could have ways of inputting battle orders, showing his own tactical genius on both the Micro AND the Macro-Aspect of War: Milita
Not implying anything, but I know that since X year (I think it's 2002, or maybe 1998), the re-election rate for congressmen and/or senator (this is pure memory stats, so I may be off) is about 95%, because the said-elected people uses their power to influence political maps/campaign financement/public adresses. And if I remember well, at the beggining of the Iraqi Invasion, pro-War factions within the U.S. were almost the sole speakers, anti-War peoples were silenced (except maybe Mi
Finally, this talk of Bush, the middle east, and terrorism is way off topic and needs a thread of it's own. Over 3/4 of this thread is devoted to off topic converation as it is and I'm not sure how far it needs to go before the mods lock a topic. Why I strongly advocate we keep our cold. I don't think there is anything wrong with having the to
This statement says it all. Flayed_one: OMG are you KIDDING ME? "Normal people" is that what THEY told YOU? Normal people DON'T go to terrorist training camps and learn how to make bombs, hijack airliners, use poison gas, etc. THESE ARE PSYCHOPATHS, brainwashed by "the religion of peace". They were/are SAVAGES, who saw through peoples' necks, skin faces, rape as
I cannot name any american who had his privacy intruded, because of a quite clever circular argument saying that "the names of the person concerned must not be release for national security reason". Off course you never heard of someone being spyed on, because no one must know! And your governement think it has the right to spy on its allies without their consentement. And off course, it consider the paper who released the news as a traitor, because "no one is supposed to know because
CAN YOU NAME ONE LIBERTY TAKEN? (liberty to have a privacy. That your privacy may not be intruded by any governement agency except with the express autorisation of a courthouse. And the President isn't a courthouse. Liberty to have a trial, and be judged by your peers, to know why you are incarcerated. Liberty to keep silence.) (And
(I just wonder how this topic started in a GAL CIV 2 FORUM?) Anyway. I liked some people's interventions more than some others. (usually 50/50 between those with similar political views and those with opposed). True, America is.. wait a second. Why calling the U.S.A. "america", as if ONE country was defining the whole goddamn continent?! I don't call the french "the europeans", and I sure don't think any of their neighbour would approve if they monopolized the name, took it
I would like to know what, exactly, was improved (notplayed 1.2 yet..) So far, we have heard: - Better Planetary management - Transports have evasive tactics (finally!)
these are called "political pressure".. hell that would work
When you think of it, Planetary Invasion IS the uber-weapon. You simple and purely annihilate an entire population to take its place (and money!$$$)
I don't know about ICBM... Planet-to-Planet missile would never be approved by Frogboy. I was more thinking something more like sol-air missile (ground-air?) and air-air missiles... I would imput it that way: 2 Kinds of missile. Anti-Personnal (kinda) ones, can only damage a single ship. Too high velocity for any counter-measure to work, except the classic ECM-Chaff-Whatever. Anti-Fleet ship. Larger one, slower, but one that do collateral damage on al
I was thinking much in those term. But you could also have defensive missile-pack (for when a fleet is blockading a planet, destroying ships 1 by 1), it would be possible to build about 2-3 missiles each turn, weakening any blockading planet.. And would be a great defence against Transport-Rushers...
